Cyril R Salter Natural Horn Hair Comb

Cyril R Salter is a respected English company specializing in fine men's grooming products. Horn hair combs are considered by many to be superior to ones of plastic, not only for their classic good looks, but also because the horn teeth are gentler on the hair than plastic, causing less tugging and breakage.

Natural horn products vary in color from almost pure black, to a darkened ivory color, with a unique pattern on each one, and as with all natural products, slight imperfections are part of their charm. While we can not guarantee color, if you prefer a darker or lighter one, please include a note with your order and we will attempt to accommodate your request.

Dimensions: 6 x 1.25 in. (150x33mm)

The Shavetools Scoop

-Why To Buy: Natural horn is an amazing material for hair combs: it is durable, looks amazing, and is much gentler than plastic (or even metal) combs. If you want a comb with the same quality and classic style as a fine DE or straight razor, you want a comb made from natural horn.

-Why To Pass: Natural horn combs are a bit pricey, and they don't respond well to being wet, so if you soak your heir before combing, you might find that a metal hair comb serves you better.

-Related Products: Cyril Salter produces a similar comb that comes in a leather case, as well as a reasonably priced metal comb that is better suited to exposure to large amounts of heat, water, and hair products.

-Hints And Tips: Natural horn should not be left in water for extended periods of time, and should be lightly oiled or greased from time to time, to help ensure that you will be enjoying it for years to come.
